Through its worldwide network of clubs, each week Toastmasters helps more than a quarter of a million men and women of every ethnicity, education level and profession build their competence in communication so they can gain the confidence to lead others. Toastmasters continues to build on its legacy by providing a strong foundation for the future. Its proven educational program continually evolves to address the needs of the world’s communicators and leaders both today and tomorrow. Toastmasters members learn to tell their story. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback – and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership. They do this by practice and learning skills by filling meeting roles, ranging from giving a prepared or an impromptu speech to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in positive manner, focusing on what was done correctly and what could be improved. Great communicators tend to be great leaders. To find a club near you visit: www.toastmasters.org/findaclub.

STAND| One People, One Tribe is a non-profit organization at the University of the Incarnate Word. We aim to make a difference in the world by unifying our world as One People, One Tribe. Through this approach we seek to make in impact by assisting our domestic community and Global as well. We are a branch of Gulu Hope, our Mother organization, and our partnership with them helps us improve the lives of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPS) in poverty through education. The two platforms that STAND| One People, One Tribe follows are the following: 1) International Aid 2) Domestic Community Outreach Through International Aid we have the “5 Lands Project”. The “5 Lands Project” focuses on eliminating poverty and giving hope to the following continents: North/South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. Once we establish ourselves in these continents we are given a timeline of 5-10 years in order to build our presence there. We build the following facilities: 1) Vocational School, 2) Medical Clinics, 3) Water Wells and 4) Orphanages. We take into consideration the needs of the natives first before anything else and strive to live off this motto “If you give a man a fish he eats for a day, but if you teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime.” Through this motto we focus on educating the people through vocational skills, medical assistance, water for life and children needs. The goal with this project is that within 30 years from now people will have 5 areas to work in and give back to the world. Through our Domestic Community Outreach members will have the opportunity to make a difference in their communities and nation by volunteering. Every month we strive to have at least one community project where we volunteer at different locations. Members are encouraged to pitch in ideas for places to work with in order to be universal. By reaching out to our “Domestic Community” we are a beckon of hope and gain a stronger understanding of community struggles. With this approach, STAND gives back to the community and interacts with the world around them. STAND| One People, One Tribe is made for the purpose of service and action. We provide hope to those less fortunate and strive to reach a new direction in our own lives through others. The continuation of our mission brings to life the model of “making a difference” both internationally and domestically. Through the words of Gandhi “we are the change we want to see in this world.”
